It's alive!

I think all of us can comprehend the smiles that must have been on everyone's faces even without showing them!   :cheers:

Could someone tell us video-challenged Neanderthals what happened at the drag strip.  I've been following the jet bike for a couple of years here and would be interested.

Thanx, Stan
